Technical Assistance Provider to Facilitate Community Forums, and Document Processes, Findings, and Interventions

Question:
First, as written, it seems you are looking for discreet event support rather
than ongoing project coaching and planning. In our other NMEF work, we have
partnered with the district project lead in an ongoing way while bringing
particular emphasis on outreach, engagement, and equity coaching.

Answer: The Manchester School District is seeking event support along with
ongoing project coaching and planning, a resource who can work with the
district project lead, project manager, and district staff in an ongoing way
while bringing particular emphasis on outreach, engagement, and equity
coaching.

Question: In
addition to forums and documentation, are you also interested in TA providers
working with the project team through reporting and into an implementation
phase or is that yet to be determined?

Answer: According to the RFP that the Manchester School District responded
to and the Nellie Mae Education Foundation awarded, the Manchester School
District needs to “facilitate inclusive, participatory, and transparent
district-community processes that accomplishes the following:

1) analyze
barriers to barriers to equitably preparing all students (e.g., Black and
Latino students, English language learners, special education students, and
low-income students) to graduate from high school ready for college and career,

and

2) identify
student-centered practices and other appropriate interventions that will
address the identified equity barriers.”[1]

The Technical
Assistance Provider’s reports will include an analysis of the barriers and the
identified student-centered practices and other appropriate interventions to
address the identified barriers.
